‍

Sarah Jessica Parker is an award-winning actor, producer, and businesswoman who has garnered four Golden Globe Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and two Emmy Awards.

Parker most recently starred in the highly anticipated third season of HBO's television series And Just Like That. The show is a sequel to the critically acclaimed television series Sex and the City (1998-2004), in which Parker starred and served as an executive producer. Parker reprised her role as Carrie Bradshaw and served as a producer for the screen adaptation of the hit series with the theatrical release of Sex and the City and Sex and the City 2.

Parker also recently starred in the American fantasy comedy film Hocus Pocus 2, alongside Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy. The film, produced by Walt Disney Pictures, directed by Anne Fletcher, and written by Jen D'Angelo, is the sequel to the 1993 film Hocus Pocus, in which Parker captivated audiences with her witty and quirky performance as 'Sarah Sanderson’, the sister to Winifred and Mary Sanderson, three witches living in 17th-century Salem.

Additional television credits include Equal Justice and Square Pegs. Past film credits include:

Extreme Measures, If Lucy Fell, Til There Was You, L.A. Story, I Don't Know How She Does It,

Smart People, Failure to Launch, The Family Stone, State and Main, Mars Attacks!, Ed Wood, The First Wives Club, Miami Rhapsody, Honeymoon in Vegas, and Footloose.

Parker was most recently seen on stage opposite her husband, Matthew Broderick, in the revival of Neil Simon‘s comedy play, Plaza Suite, directed by Tony Award winner John Benjamin Hickey. Plaza Suite is the third-highest-grossing play revival in Broadway history. The play made its West End debut at the Savoy Theatre in London, where Parker’s performance earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the 2024 Olivier Awards.

Parker has worked in the theatre, on and off Broadway, since 1976 when she debuted on Broadway in The Innocents, directed by Harold Pinter. Other Broadway credits include: the title role in Annie, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and Once Upon a Mattress. Off-Broadway credits include: the original production of To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday and The Commons of Pensacola.

Parker launched Pretty Matches Productions, the award-winning production company, in 2005, which develops film and television projects across a wide variety of genres under a first-look deal with HBO. Pretty Matches produces scripted and unscripted television as well as narrative and documentary feature films such as HBO’s Divorce, in which Parker starred for three seasons and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance, and the feature film, Here and Now, which premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. Parker produced the behind-the-scenes featureAnd Just Like That…The Documentary for HBO Max as well as Bravo’s Work of Art: The Next Great Artist, which sold into multiple territories internationally, the award-winning documentary Pretty Old, and AOL’s City Ballet.

Sarah Jessica Parker executive produced the upcoming documentary, The Librarians, which will premiere at the upcoming 2025 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Kim A. Snyder, the documentary highlights librarians across the country who have been fighting against book bans. They have been standing up to the ideology that prevents children from having access to certain books and have put their lives and their families' lives at risk as a result.

In June 2023, Parker launched SJP Lit, her own imprint in partnership with independent publisher Zando, where she publishes thought-provoking, big-hearted stories inclusive of international and underrepresented voices. Recent titles include They Dream in Gold by Mai Sennaar, Alina Grabowski’s Women and Children First, Elysha Chang’s A Quitter’s Paradise, and Coleman Hill written by Kim Coleman Foote.

Prior to this, Parker served as Editorial Director of the literary imprint SJP for Hogarth, publishing the New York Times bestseller A Place For Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza, winner of the Desmond Elliott Prize; Golden Child by Claire Adam; and Dawn, the critically acclaimed story collection by the jailed Turkish politician and human rights lawyer Selahattin Demirtas.

Parker has additionally served as Honorary Chair of the American Library Association’s online reading resource platform Central Book Club, and as a board member of the nonprofit organization United for Libraries. Sarah Jessica Parker was recently appointed to the panel as a judge for the prestigious British literary award, the Booker Prize in 2025.

In September 2019, Parker partnered with New Zealand-based Invivo & Co. to launch Invivo X, SJP, a collection of innovative wines that range from an award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, Rose, and Pinot Noir - each crafted with Parker’s hands-on involvement in blending the wine and label design. With over 60 gold medals, multiple 90+ scores, and three appearances in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of the World, Invivo X, SJP embodies quality, creativity, and a fresh approach to winemaking.

Parker released her signature fragrance, Lovely, in 2005. Almost twenty years later, it remains a top-selling global brand.

Parker currently serves as a Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors for the New York City Ballet. In November 2009, the Obama administration elected her to be a member of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. Parker recently became a member of The Partnership for New York City, a 501(c) organization dedicated to building partnerships between businesses and government to strengthen New York City.

Today, Penske Media Corporation’s (PMC) iconic brands announced a compelling lineup of activations for the inaugural South by Southwest® London (SXSW), taking place June 2–7, 2025. Building on the legacy of SXSW Austin, the new London edition will feature a slate of high-impact events including live concerts, immersive experiences, expert panel discussions, and exclusive networking opportunities.

June 2: Sportico will be the presenting sponsor of the first-ever SXSW London Sports Track in June 2025. The Sports Track will leverage Sportico’s insider access to examine Sports Tech & Performance, brand and sports influence, the future of sports gaming, and athletes as investors.

June 2-7: The American Pavilion's esteemed Worldwide Student Program, now in its 36th year, is expanding to include SXSW London alongside its established presence at the Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, and SXSW in Austin. This year, a select group of emerging student talents from the U.S. and abroad, representing the next generation of the media industry, will immerse themselves in the festival’s "BEAUTIFUL COLLISIONS" theme. Participants will enjoy access to the festival's official programming and take part in exclusive daily roundtables curated by The American Pavilion.

As streaming platforms expand global access and audiences embrace diverse storytelling, a new generation of creators is gaining international recognition.

June 4-5: Rolling Stone’s Future of Music UK will be a special two-night, underground showcase featuring the buzziest UK-based artists who are shaping the next generation of music.

Moderated by the magazine’s Editor in Chief Dr. Tina Rivers Ryan—one of the leading experts in the field of art and technology—“Digital Art on Display” will address the exciting work that museums are doing to display, collect, and conserve digital art. Panelists include Valentina Ravaglia, curator of the exhibition “Electric Dreams: Art and Technology Before the Internet” (closing at London’s Tate Modern June 1); Michelle Cotton, curator of the exhibition “Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960—1991” (closing at Kunsthalle Wien May 25); and Melanie Lenz, Curator of Digital Art at the V&A South Kensington and co-editor of the 2024 book Digital Art: 1960s to Now.

New PMC Study Reveals the Impact of Shared Cultural Moments

December 11, 2024

Penske Media Corporation (PMC), the leading global media, live events and data analytics company, recently released findings from their pop culture study, Power of Shared Cultural Connections. The study explores the powerful impact of shared cultural moments and immersive events on consumer engagement, revealing that these experiences resonate profoundly with audiences, foster lifelong memories and community bonds, and offer brands a unique opportunity to cultivate loyalty and engagement through these immersive events.

“At PMC, our research shows that brands have a unique opportunity to be a part of cultural moments by engaging in shared experiences which forge deep emotional connections and loyalty that traditional media channels cannot match,” said Dan Owen, EVP, GM, Strategic Solutions Group at PMC. “As a conduit for creating these collective experiences, PMC helps our partners tap into the power of pop culture and immersive events, embedding themselves in the memories that shape fandoms.”

Key takeaways from the “Power of Shared Cultural Connections” study include:

Major pop culture experiences are a pathway to lifelong memories and provide the thrill of unexpected connection. At a moment in time when much of the world is more isolated than ever, audiences want moments that fuel gratitude and bring us closer to ourselves and each other. 77% say major pop culture experiences are a source of lifelong memories, and 72% seek out pop culture events that offer immersion into the worlds of their favorite shows, movies and artists (86% among Gen Z respondents).

Shared cultural experiences are powerful community builders, particularly when they resonate deeply with the audience’s passions and interests. The more personal and human the stories surrounding the moment are, the more impactful it becomes. 63% seek out pop culture experiences that offer deeper connections to personal interests, and 56% of Gen Z respondents say that they seek out pop culture events that offer deeper community connections with like-minded fans.

Events are always in the plans. 92% plan to attend or wish to attend pop cultural events, including music, film, and art festivals, concerts, immersive experiences and exhibits, in the next year.

Award shows are a vital part of pop culture, connecting us with our favorite artists and acting as a unifying force that creates memorable historical moments. 87% of audiences identify as being“obsessed” or “casual” fans of major award shows. Award shows foster community, with 58% saying they talk to their friends and family about them.

Brands have an incredible power as the facilitators of shared cultural connection. Creating exclusive access that brings fans closer to those moments, and the artists they love most, yields extreme loyalty. 63% consider themselves a super fan of a musician (80% of Gen Z) with 43% saying that if their favorite music artist wears/endorses something, it influences their purchase decision. Additionally, 52% would feel more loyal to a brand if it provided access to live-streamed cultural events.

The findings of PMC’s Power of Shared Cultural Connections study demonstrate that shared cultural moments profoundly influence consumer engagement. This research highlights the critical role that brands play in facilitating these vital connections and creating experiences that not only build emotional ties but also foster enduring loyalty.
